CREATING AN ANNOTATED WEBLIOGRAPHY

The first requirement of this project is to create list of all the sites you will use in your story. This is like a bibliography - except you will have web addresses (URLs) instead of book titles.

Each time you find a website that you believe you will take information from, copy and paste its address on a WORD document, then describe (annotate) the information on that site. Then write down one or two ways you might use the information on that site.

Sample:

ANNOTATED WEBLIOGRAPHY FOR THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OF 1871

1. www.chicagohs.org/fire/intro

...link: http://www.chicagohs.org/fire/prefire/

.....This site displays eyewitness accounts of the fire in essay format. I might work in one or two of the authors of the essays as characters in my story.

...link: http://www.chicagohs.org/fire/prefire/guide.html

.....This link shows photographs of the Chicago area before and during the fire. I will use these in my PowerPoint presentation.

...link: http://www.chicagohs.org/fire/fanning/pity.html

.....This link has the lyrics to a song someone wrote about the fire several years later. I might use this as a way to bring me, as a character, into the era. Maybemy .....character hear the song being played on a radior stations and suddenly appear at the site.

2. http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/disasters/great_fire.html

---This site gives the legend of how the story started in O'Leary's barn and contradicts the idea that his cow kicked over a lanternwhich began the fire. I might be a guest at O'Leary's house, that would allow me to use him in the story.

....link: http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/chihist.html

.....This link is a timeline of Chicago's history. I might copy and paste the relevant parts on a slide for PowerPoint.
